Give what some? The Fiesta? Or the Clio? I'm confused... I always give my car a thrashing through the corners :

Meh, I'll give you a go. I've already given a Polo GTI a go before :

Oh, and a nice 147 GTA too : , which is now on carsales

Hi All,

Name: Rob
Age: 37
Location: Melbourne
Ride: '91 laser and '03 Toyota Camry
Future car: Fiesta LX 5dr 5sp manual in Sub-Lime :eclipsee_ .
Thoughts: I was pretty impressed by the car when i saw one up-close for the first time. It will be a good replacement for the Laser next year when it nearly runs out of rego.

Glad i found this place.

Regards,

Rob

Archille's heel - the Fiesta's (lack of) power. It's hardly crippling, but make sure you can live with it before purchase.

Yeah Marsfield in Sydney.
Have just added a nice Sony Xplod system into it.
And just wanted to add electric windows and central locking but am really struggling with it. More so the central locking!
Will add some mags and things like that over time as well!

Not on me at the moment but i'll chuck some up tonight.
Yeah there aren't many of them about, there is another one up the road from where I am that is almost exactly the same as mine.
I always get a wave from othe KA owners as I pass as there are so few of them.
The KA was originally our second car and was only used when myself and my partner were going in different directions but as we have just bought a house we had to sell our Subaru so the KA is now our only vehicle.
So I am trying to do a few mods to it to make it a bit more liveable? It is sooo economical I just need a few creature comforts to be happy driving it everyday.

Welcome EVO

Goodluck with the mods. The KA is very popular in the UK and according to Top Gear is a cool car.
